About Reo Rua Education and Care

Reo Rua Education and Care centres offer bilingual early learning with both te reo Māori and English used throughout daily activities, helping children develop strong foundations in both languages. These centres are ideal for families who value bicultural education and want their child to experience learning through a Māori worldview while still engaging with English-medium teaching.

What Is 20 Hours ECE funding?

20 Hours ECE is a government-funded initiative that helps reduce the cost of early childhood education for families with tamariki aged 3–5. Eligible children can receive up to 20 hours of funded care and education each week at participating services. Centres can set their own enrolment patterns and may ask for optional charges, but the funded hours themselves should be free of compulsory fees. If you are unsure how this works at He Manu Hou Trust, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.
